About: I’ve owned dogs for 13 years and currently have a male Pomeranian, so I understand daily care, feeding routines, walks, attention, and patience. I’ve also been actively working on training, which has taught me consistency and how to understand dog behavior. I know how important it is to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I balance pet care alongside work and school, and I’m committed to providing dependable walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and attention for every pet. My schedule can vary week to week, but I respond quickly and communicate clearly to confirm availability. I’m consistently available Thursdays and Saturdays, with additional morning, afternoon, and evening availability depending on my work schedule. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable in their own home. I supervise all interactions, provide fresh water, and maintain clean, hazard-free spaces. I follow owner instructions carefully, respect boundaries, and create a calm, secure environment. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority, whether it’s companionship, walking, feeding, or administering basic care.
“Madison was beyond phenomenal!!! She made me feel at ease every step of the way. Her communication with me was exactly what I needed to make me feel at ease leaving my new rescue kitty in her care. I can not recommend her enough! Will definitely be using her for every trip I have. My cat loved her as well!! She is so kind and caring and took care of my baby like he was her own. If I could give her a million stars I would!!”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah 🐾 I’ve loved working with dogs for as long as I can remember and have experience with dog walking, hiking, daycare, and basic training support. I’m especially great with high-energy breeds and love making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they need. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or just some extra company during the day, I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive experience. 🐶💛 I stoped working as an electrician so that I can work with kids and animals, animals are my passion. I loved working at a farm and my favorite is group hikes Safety is my top priority so I treat every pet like my own and keep the space clean and secure. Sticking to their routine is really important to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free.
About: Hey! I'm a total dog lover looking to turn my passion into a paw-some career. I offer reliable walks, playtime, and TLC. Let me be your go-to for keeping your furry friends happy and healthy! I currently am a college student, taking short classes and have so much free time so I’m really looking forward to having something to do especially that I get to work with pets! I have zero pets and live in a apartment where pets are allowed. There is a walking trail provided in my community that I can use to walk your pet/s.
“Nicole was great! I got great photos and updates on my two cats, Luna and Sirius, while my boyfriend and I were away. She was very easy to work with and my cats were in great hands.”


About: I am a work from home dog mom and love my German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi. We go to the beach, park and go on neighborhood walks every day. I have the availability and capacity to have another dog to tag along. I have fostered dogs in the past and love helping a dog have a safe and comfortable place to stay! I work from home and take my dog for a walk every few hours or bring her to the beach or the park on my lunch break. Dogs have plenty of toys and comfortable places to relax and play while I work. Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.
About: Ever since I was little, I gravitated towards the pets at any gathering. I grew up with a cockapoo and now have two cats, Luka and Rhema. I have experience with dogs ranging from 3 pounds all the way to 100+! Nothing is too small when it comes to care for your pet. I’m available for whatever help you find you need from walks, check-ins, feedings, providing medication, scooping the litter box, etc. I’ll be looking forward to meeting my new furry friend! I’m currently working part time and have a set schedule that occasionally fluctuates. I’m available Sunday - Anytime Monday - Before 1pm / After 7pm Tuesday - After 2:45pm Wednesday - Before 12pm / After 7pm Thursday - Before 12pm / After 7pm Friday - Anytime Saturday - After 7pm Not only is it about your trust but, equally your furry friend’s! For me, respecting and understanding your pet’s boundaries is very important and helps build a bond.
“My kids/doggies loved Christina. After her visit, and I got home they were looking for her. I will definitely book her again, she also send me pics of her and the dogs. I thought that was soo sweet.”

“Laura took great care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were away. She was very conscientious, communicative, and did an overall fantastic job. She sent us pet photos at every visit. We will be happy to hire Laura again for the next vacation!!! Highly recommend 🙂”


“This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!”

“Maeghan was so wonderful with our pups Checkers and Ava! She arrived on time and provided top notch care during her visit. She communicated all aspects of the visit to us and kindly provided photos. Maeghan is professional and we felt very safe with our dogs in her care. Highly recommended!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have also been around cats too. Im very patient, understanding, loyal and trustworthy. I love all animals and would love to help anyone out that needs it. My schedule is flexible and usually can work on last second notices. I would love to get to know you and your pet so everyone can lead a happy life. I work full time as a High School teacher during the week but have time after the school day is over and on weekends to come by. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)
“Samantha was great. Real allowed for me to enjoy my vacation by sending updates and videos of my dogs. I recommend her to anyone who wants their pet sitting experience to be great!”
